TO ALL WHOM IT MAY oononnm I 1 Be it known that I, O. B. BOYNTON, of St.Paul, Ramsey county, State of Minnesota, have invented new and usefulImprovements in the Journal-Boxes of Railway Cars; and I do herebydeclare the following to be an exact description thereof, referencebeing bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the lettersof refermarked thereon, making a part of this specification, in which-- Figure 1represents a front view of the journal-box.

Figure 2, a cross-section.

The nature of my invention consists in t the washer of the bolt, uponwhich the cover or door operates.

A represents the rubber or circular spring that presses against thecover Q by means of the washer F on the bolt B; the bolt B passingthrough the washer, therubber A and end of cover G into the box D,holding the cover firmly to the box in whatever position the cover isplaced, and the rubber A keeping the cover or lid A from rattling; endthe lid is regulated by turning the head of screw-bolt B. The inside ofthe cover G has a raised rim all around it, so that the bearing againstthe box is only on the rim instead of the whole of the cover. The coverhas a. flange, E, on the inside, at the top, fitting into a. shoulder atthe top of the box, and. this flange prevents the cover from fallingdown from its proper place.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

The arrangement and combination of the rubber A under the washer of boltB, the inside construction of cover C, also the flange E fitting on toset forth.
